Sounds about right in terms of potential profit.

Fire Emblem Direct - January 18th, 4PM CST (Japan confirmed, FE Mobile unveiling)
- Thread starter Ocarina_117
- Start date
loved it all but i was hoping for this as well
Im just adding more fuel to this fire but why are they still making ports of new games for 3DS? Dont you want people to buy your device thats literally a console AND a handheld?
Like i can understand making unique games for 3DS because of the install base but we're already getting a Switch port despite the console not being released.

I know, i'm glad the Switch won't be infected with that game too.
Speaking of bringing back old games, there was more story in that trailer for Shadows of Valentia than there was in Fire Emblem Gaiden. That bodes well...assuming the game's overall writing is good. Much as I enjoyed Fates' refining of the series gameplay, the story was average at best (Birthright), downright insulting at its worst (Conquest) so i'm a touch concerned as to how they'll handle that game's script. Speaking of concerning, the Direct didn't make this clear: Will Echoes: Shadows of Valentia be launching worldwide May 19th? Moreover, is Echoes going to be the brand of which they remake the pre-Rekka entries in the series? If so, here's hoping SoV doesn't flop. If we won't be getting a collection of the older games with official translations, remaking FEs 3-6 under the "Echoes" line is a solid consolation prize.

But you don't have to play Sun and Moon to experience the entire story/game. Conquest and Birthright are as different as Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. Yes, they both combine (and with Revelation) to create a much larger story, but maps, story, and actual type of game are drastically different. Whereas Ages and Seasons reflected different styles of zelda games(old school action vs Majora style puzzle solvong), Birthright and Conquest reflect different types of Fire Emblem games (Awakening vs traditional). While they tie together in a larger narrative, they are different games.

Well, I definitely have a negative outlook on the future of FE. If FE Fates didn't have Conquest, I'd be even more negative.
Gaiden Remake could be interesting, but I think what they showed confirms my fears of the kind of baggage that comes with the original. It's the black sheep of the franchise for a reason.
Mobile looks more dumbed-down than you are implying. I was hoping for a moment where the screen would zoom out and reveal something of a real map. Maybe this is an advancement for the gacha genre, which I pretty much know nothing about, except for having played Terra Battle and knowing they are very exploitative, like gambling.
Musuo could be neat, but I don't tend to like those games. I didn't touch Hyrule Warriors, but it seemed interesting for what it was. "Lots of FE fanservice" could be fun, but I foresee a lot of FEs getting the same treatment the portable Zelda games did. They might get a few scraps, but if it's completely lopsided towards the essentials of FE1 and a bunch of new stuff - all backed by amiibos - I would find that really off-putting, kind of like... fan dis-service.

Is there anywhere some indepth breakdown of these games already ? Particulary curious about FE Gaiden
These are cards correct?
Yes, Cipher is the JP-only card game.

That's what the "Echoes" title seems to imply, which would be really nice. Series isn't new to remakes, but I'd love to see some more remakes of the older, Japan only games.
As for the story in SoV...we'll see? Fates certainly doesn't inspire confidence, but the trailer seemed promising.

I need that Tharja sticker immediately. Also that adorable Lucina/Chrom one.
Honestly this whole Direct was like, "close but no cigar" for me.
Fire Emblem remake coming out in four months! ...but it's for the 3DS.
Fire Emblem amiibo! ...but it's a two-pack, and I only want one of them.
Fire Emblem Warriors out this Fall, looks great! ...but Warriors gameplay isn't for me.
Fire Emblem Mobile out in two weeks! ...but it has a god-awful artstyle.
Fire Emblem Switch announced! ...but with absolutely no details.
Kind of crazy that there's three FE games out this year and I'm not really interested in any of them. Fingers crossed for 2018, though!

Stickers for the LINE app, a popular messaging app in Japan. It's also stateside, but a lot of the really awesome sticker sets are Japan only. There are some great ones on the US version as well, though.

Woo!!
Makes sense to spend so much time on the biggest Fire Emblem game of the year.
You're awesome. Thanks!
I made a quick one.

Watched the conference, that was pretty great.
I had to laugh at the narrators disappointment at getting Olivia instead of Lon Qu, and then watching Lon Qu get wrecked when he finally gets him.

I wouldn't think it would need that much rework. Just, say, make the L button call up your cell phone and then all you have to do is put the battle info on the main screen like it generally is in console RPG battles.
Well it would've been nice if one of those games was a new Golden Sun game, it is nice to see that Nintendo has a strong JRPG IP.
No probs. Just made a slightly higher quality version without the wall if you'd like.
Thanks man, this one is even better. Your time/effort is greatly appreciated.Just made a slightly higher quality version without the wall if you'd like.

Best put respeck in that tone when talking about my boy Lon'Qu, lest you get a 2%crit chance on a 5% hit probability every time you play.

I worked Lon Qu like a dog in Awakening. Miss him
Hnnnng
I need that crying Lucina lol
The DS game proved that it's lost all its power, not just critically but commercially. They have plenty of JRPG IPs stronger than Golden Sun.
Hmm, for some reason the transparency doesn't show when I apply it to my profile as my avatar, yet it does in the post you made. Really strange, it even shows up as transparent on the image preview but not when I try to apply the picture as my avatar on NeoGAF.You're welcome. One Tharja fan to another.
Thanks anyway though! I'll just continue using the first one you made. Also, really cool to see another Tharja fan. I know we are many, but still!

I'm guessing they're holding back to bring attention to what's new. I strongly believe that these first two years of Switch are going to be supplemented by Wii U ports, but Nintendo is probably holding back on announcing more ports (such as the notable omission of Smash) until a bit after the system is released.
Just found out the issue, I made the image too big.
Oopsie poopsie.
^here's the fixed version
